The Future of Batterer Programs

"The Future of Batterer Programs is an excellent book that . . . expands the discussion for those interested more specifically in victim safety and coordinated community response. It is refreshing to read such a non-polemical book in this field, which sometimes tends towards emotional rhetoric."—Arlene N. Weisz, professor, School of Social Work, Wayne State University

"This book is terrific! It offers both new research and original insights that cannot be found in existing works. The critical examination of the 'batterer programs don't work' mantra is particularly helpful. The book should be a primer for practitioners working with batterer programs and judges, probation officers, advocates, and family service workers will find answers to the questions raised about batterer programs."—Barbara J. Hart, J.D., Muskie School of Public Service, University of Southern Maine
